A few days each year test flashing harder than all the rest. Sand Point's wettest day on record was December 3, 2007, when 4.15 inches fell; annual totals at that station ranged from 28.42 inches in 2002 to 45.05 in 2006. Flashing has to carry that water around the stack and back onto the shingles. The Seattle Residential Code adds a cricket (R1003.20) upslope of any chimney measuring over 30 inches along the ridge line, so water is split before it reaches the masonry. We trace the leak, open the joint, and reseal or renew the metal as its condition dictates.
The Lake Union side has its own record day. The Portage Bay gauge, the station nearest Fremont and Wallingford, caught 4.22 inches in a single day on January 18, 1986, and its wettest year, 1996, totaled 51.56 inches. The same station logged 22.5 inches of snow in December 1996. Snow that sits against a chimney and melts slowly is a different test from rain, because the water backs up behind the stack instead of running past it.
Flashing fails quietly. Sealant dries and splits, a nail backs out, a counter-flashing lifts from its mortar joint, and the first sign is a brown ring on a ceiling several feet away. By then the roof deck beside the chimney has been wet for some time.
Roof moss works on the same seam. Oregon State University Extension describes how moss lifts asphalt shingles so that water gets underneath, and how it speeds the decay of wood by keeping it wet. The same source carries a warning that matters at the chimney: zinc sulfate moss treatments attack copper, so they should stay off a roof whose flashing, gutters or downspouts are copper. It also cautions that careless pressure washing damages shingles. If moss is growing against the stack, tell us what has been applied to the roof before we open the joint.
How it works
A stain marks where water showed up; we work uphill to where it got in.
Old sealant and lifted metal are pulled back to show what lies under them.
Sound metal is refastened and sealed; corroded or short metal is replaced in both layers.
You get pictures of a joint that is otherwise out of sight.

Our flashing price is $375–$1,495. Good metal that only wants new sealant costs least; base and counter flashing replaced together cost most.
Location and timing help, but the roof decides. Flashing leaks tend to show on ceilings and walls beside the chimney; crown leaks tend to show inside the flue and firebox. We check both before quoting.
Metal that is intact, properly lapped and firmly seated can be resealed. Metal that is rusted through, too short, or held on with sealant alone should be replaced.
On a Seattle house or duplex, replacing the roof needs no permit when the building envelope is unchanged and the new work is at least as good as the old. A reroof is the best moment to renew chimney flashing, since the shingles around the stack are already off.
